About the Amazonian Trogon
The Amazonian trogon (Trogon ramonianus), is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae, the trogons and quetzals. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Until the early 2000s, what are now the Amazonian trogon and the gartered trogon (T. caligatus) were considered subspecies of the violaceous trogon (T. violaceous). The International Ornithological Committee (IOC), the Clements taxonomy, and the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (AOS-SACC) have implemented the split making them separate species and renaming T. violaceous the Guianan trogon. However, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) retains them as subspecies. The classification schemes that treat the Amazonian trogon as a species assign two subspecies, the nominate T. r. ramonianus and T. r. crissalis. The two subspecies are so similar that some authors maintain that the Amazonian trogon is monotypic.
Trogons have distinctive male and female plumages, with soft, often colorful, feathers. The Amazonian trogon is about 23 to 25 cm (9.1 to 9.8 in) long; three males weighed 44 to... Wikipedia →
